| I`m still loving this! Just a quick question before I continue to read. During the winter they stayed in the cave, I remember you writing something about Tathiel and the children teaching Legolas about his family. Wouldn`t it be obvious he learn their names then? It would be hard to explain about someone`s family without saying names, so why wouldn`t Tathiel say them? Just curious, as always. Bye! Author Reply: He was only an infant then, and at least to them, he had only picked up on the concept of his sisters, so they were surprised at the suddeness of hearing him say Lathron. Its possible he recalled something form his infant time, but the clarity of it was surprising! | |

| Just when you think it can't get any worse you end up in a cave with several hundred orcs. Don't you just hate it when that happens? You sure have thought up a lot of gauntlets for them to run. Pushing Legolas into sleep. Those Elves and their mind games. I would have been more than just retching. I would have been hurling big time. In the movie the orcs even smelled bad and I was just looking at them. Tathiel knows now that she could cut their throats to save them from the abuse and torture they would face at the orc's hands. She has had to grow stonger and hard these last eighteen months. Lathron and using his abilities. He needs to learn to use it and guide and direct it also. Lovely foreseeing. That will bring some comfort to adar and hope for gaining their lost ones back safe from their long journey. No humor in this situation but they had to smile. Gallows humor indeed. Poor Leges wet. Well he couldn't help that could he. Oh they are in the snow. Good thing they aren't overly affected by the cold. This was a kind discussion about courage and bravery. Sometimes just doing what we know is right takes so much courage. But it will never be noticed except by ourselves. That is true bravery. I think it is neat that Lathron is teaching Legolas about his family while he sleeps. The prince will have a link with them through Lathron that will help ease his homecoming. So both Earundra and Tinania showed bravery and courage of the rawest kind in saving Tathiel. Poor elflings. When they go home they will be very different after all their experiences. Their innocence will be gone and they will have a far different view of the outside world than any of the peers. Sometimes this is hard for families to understand. Well this was an orcy chapter. Very lively also. I suppose it will only get more lively as they get closer to Mirkwood. The orcs seem to be trying to really take over. They can try their days are numbered. | |
